The latest news
Okay, been a bit busy lately, but I thought I'd drop the latest news before running off on a few more chores. (It's my "day off" so chores abound.)

1) I have now sold the limited edition rights to CHERRY HILL and REUNIONS, a novel and novella respectively. Both stories feature Jonathan Crowley (previously featured in the SERENITY FALLS trilogy, UNDER THE OVERTREE and the novelette WAR STORIES.) Mr. Crowley will be coming back again soon. More news when it's okayed by the publisher.

2) Yes, I am now the Associate Editor for Bloodletting Press. Looks like it should be a lot of fun and should effectively kill off any spare time I might have found. So far, all the rumors I heard about Larry Roberts are true: He's a sharp man, very insightful and fun to deal with.

3) Yes, I'm still working on three other novels right now, and have an idea for an epic dark fantasy that simply won't leave me alone.

4) Yes, I have ANOTHER novel slated for release by the end of the year, but I can't talk about it officially yet, as the publisher would like to be the one to let you know about it first. :)

So, how are all of you?

Jim

Jim! I missed you at HorrorFind this year! Did you even attend?

Glad to hear of all the great goings-on--keep it up, bro!

Sadly, despite my best efforts, i couldn;t scrounge up the money to make HorrorFind, which sucks twice as much because I sort of left Nikki in a lurch and feel like crap about it. I kept thinking HF was still a few weeks away and then, surprise, it was right at my feet.

still, I hope everyone had a great time.

And what have you been doing lately, anyway? How goes the writing?

Still finding the time to get some writing done on my end, too. Delirium Books will be putting out my novel Passenger early next year, and I just signed a deal with Medallion Press; the first book, Shamrock Alley</i> will be out in hardcover late 2008/early 2009.

I just read this book and loved it. I am irritated that not all books can be bought in paperback. I read usually in bed before I go to sleep, as I am busy. Yes I know horror is not the best thing to be read before you go to sleep. LOL But as a Wife and Mother I am busy. So how do we get the printers to change their dumb ways? Make them realize there will always be those who buy hardback and those who will only buy strictly paper?

Hi there!

Well, in the case of BLOOD RED and several other novels, they come out in both formats. First is the limited edition version for collectors and later, if I'm lucky enough, I get a mass market deal. Both SERENITY FALLS and BLOOD RED came out from small presses first and then from Berkley Books, as an example. I also had UNDER THE OVERTREE and FIREWORKS come out initially from a now defunct house that did smaller print runs in Trade Paperback and then I resold the rights to Leisure Books.

In this case, it's the nature of the busines, but rest assured I don't have any books coming out in hardback that I don't plan on having out later in paberback.

I'm very glad you enjoyed BLOOD RED!

Have a great day.
